Honored with Public Service Award, bloggers erupt in outrage

The U.S. Navy awarded U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., its Distinguished Public Service Award, triggering an Internet campaign to have Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter withdraw it.

Murtha, who publicly accused U.S. Marines of cold-blooded murder in a firefight in Haditha, Iraq, and was caught on camera in the Abscam scandal appearing to negotiate a bribe, was honored by the Navy for his "selfless devotion to the Nation's Sailors and Marines."

The award credits him with making sure the military services "were provided the resources necessary to effectively conduct the Global War on Terrorism."

"His courageous leadership, vision, and loyalty to the men and women of the Department of the Navy greatly contributed to their quality of life and helped create the most modern and highly trained fighting force in history," the honor said.

Through shocking behind-the-scenes stories, Sen. Tom Coburn documents what you already suspect – elected representatives put politics and their own reelection bids ahead of principles. "Breach of Trust" names names from both parties.

It continued, "As Chairman of Subcommittee on Defense of the House Appropriations Committee, Congressman Murtha's tireless advocacy helped maintain the Navy and Marine Corps team at the highest levels of combat readiness to meet the challenges of the 21st century."

An online petition that appeared almost immediately already has collected more than 11,500 signatures.

It was set up by Gabe Ledeen of VetsForFreedom.org.

I’m very pleased, Smooth. There’s been over 2300 views and since the thread was posted the signatures have increased close to 3000. I’m sure many FReepers have signed.

I see someone entered “oldnews” in the keywords. They must be a little slow on the pickup, this thread was posted to get signatures and I’d bet oldnews news hasn’t signed!

[smoothsailing]

I added my own keyword; "jerkaddsdumbkeywords". HA!

[jazusamo]

LOL! Good for you.

[smoothsailing]

Not much to report on the D meeting but I’ll freepmail you about it later.

The Navy giving Murtha anything but a boot is OUTRAGEOUS! Not only will I sign this petition, but I’ll call the Department of the Navy!

Not all our military members are clear thinkers. Just go to the nearest VA hospital and see all the Obama supporters. Sad.

Murtha should have been given an anchor, and a quick swim with it. But that devil would probably make it to shore!

[SunkenCiv]

...plus, everyone on the moonbat side is *already* concerned with rising sealevels...
